"Gliding down the softly lit staircase allows everyone to feel like they’re about to arrive at the best party in town – this really is Fun Central, with the music to prove it. As with all other Zuma branches around the globe, the menu covers a multitude of Japanese bases, with seafood from the robata grill being the standout, although the signature corn-fed baby chicken rightly has many admirers too." - Michelin Inspector

"Izakaya-Style Dining at Zuma Located near the heart of Dubai , Zuma is known for strong classical execution with a hip, contemporary twist. The menu includes both sushi and sashimi alongside modern riffs, such as delicately-sliced sea bass served with truffle oil, yuzu, and salmon roe. The food is delicious (although pricey) but if you don't want to commit to an entire dinner, the bar has a great selection of sake, as well as fun—lethal—cocktails."

10 Best Hotel Brunches in Dubai

"One of Dubai's many foreign imports, London-based Zuma is Dubai's go-to spot for sushi in a posh, clubby atmosphere. Subtle tones and rusted-steel walls juxtapose nicely geometric Arab artwork. Expect izakaya small plates meant for sharing, like black cod wrapped in hoba leaves and roasted lobster with shiso ponzu butter. The sushi and sashimi here is the some of the best in Dubai, with a check to match." - Maresa Manara

During our vacation, we wanted to enjoy Japanese cuisine and sushi, and of course Zuma Dubai was our first choice. Upon arrival, the waiter was very friendly and showed us to our table. The restaurant itself is truly beautiful. The interior is stylish, the atmosphere very cozy, and the music pleasant and well chosen, which really enhances the overall dining experience. We eventually decided on a large platter with a variety of delicious nigiri. The toro (fatty tuna belly) was outstanding, and my sashimi was of absolute top quality. My wife thoroughly enjoyed her three different sushi rolls. Our children were also very well taken care of and loved the food – they had yakitori skewers and gyoza, both of which were delicious. The dessert was equally sensational, beautifully presented on ice with plenty of fresh fruit, which especially impressed our children. Of course, you should expect that it is not inexpensive. Food and drinks came to a total of 1,600 dirhams totally worth it !!!

I have been to many Zuma restaurants, but this one was one of the weaker experiences. Zuma locations usually offer great views and a stylish atmosphere, but this one felt quite average and did not really have a view. The food was also average and far too expensive for what was offered. We ordered several items from the special menu, and unfortunately they were disappointing as well. Overall, I would not recommend this location. It might be worth trying during lunchtime, as they may offer better value with lunch specials.

We visited Zuma Dubai, which was voted the best branch in Dubai for 2025 We've been here many times at the night, but this was our first time for brunch. It was crowded with many people and before I knew it, the place was fully booked. The food is generally tasty, with plenty of options to choose from, including beef, seafood, and sushi. There were so many desserts I wanted to try that it was hard to choose. The Japanese sake was not that great, but the sparkling sake was easy to drink. We would like to have a professional Sake Sommelier select delicious sake for us, so we will come again at night.

We finally tried the Ebisu business lunch at Zuma Dubai and it absolutely lived up to expectations. From the appetizers all the way to dessert, everything was beautifully executed. The steak was a standout, perfectly cooked and full of flavor. Even the desserts impressed me, and I’m usually not someone who gravitates toward sweets, but I genuinely enjoyed them. For the quality and experience (service could have been warmer), the business lunch is definitely worth the money. A must-try, and we will definitely be back.

I visited Zuma Dubai recently, and I want to share an honest review based on my experience. The restaurant is nice, clean, and the atmosphere is good, but it’s not as luxurious as I expected. The tables, chairs, and seating areas are very simple — nothing exceptional or particularly impressive. I expected something more high-end considering the restaurant’s reputation. The food was okay, not amazing. I would rate it 6/10. It wasn’t bad, but it didn’t stand out either. The service, however, is excellent — definitely the strongest part of the experience. There are many staff members, and everyone was friendly and helpful. The lady who was responsible for our table was Turkish (I forgot her name), but she was extremely kind and welcoming. Thank you to her and to the rest of the team. Anything we needed arrived immediately. Overall, Zuma is a good place to visit. I might return, but it’s not one of my top priorities. The name and the great service are what make it feel special.

Unreasonable hospitality. I can’t wait to go back. I have not been to a place where every dish was spectacular, where the staff were incredible and where I felt so welcomed. I highly recommend the sea bass and that dessert !

One of the best restaurants. We've been here several times. Fast service, fresh ingredients, open kitchen. Delicious cocktails. They suggested trying a new dessert similar to a rum baba. We didn’t like it, but they took my opinion into account and didn't add it to the bill. But the fondant was excellent as always!

This was much better what we tried in Tokyo. It was an outstanding experience with top notch menu set full of unique dishes and flavors. Very few places can impress me so much. Nice done and highly recommended.
